- bleu replies to bleui realy want to get these peoples names tell me if you know them
- MommahThese fools keep calling my number at least 3-4 times a day!!! They don't leave any messages. I called the number back once and was forwarded to a collections agency. I don't owe anyone any money. Come to find out that my brother ordered Dish TV and gave them my cell # because he didn't have the guts to give them his house #. But their calls are very annoying. And I wish they would leave me the heck alone!!!
- Caller: Dish TV
- Call type: Debt collector
- Mr.420I just got a call from this number probably about DISH TV as well but they were asking for my old land lord. Not sure how they got my number but I don't even have DISH TV nor do I want it. Hopefully they never call me again.

Called our broadband connection.
Who is this person? - KellieER Solutions calling for someone I don't know. It's in regards to a DISH Network account. I've never had DISH Network. When I called ER Solutions back to take me off their call list, they informed me that they don't have my phone number in their system. How convienent. Yet, they continue to call me daily in regards to this other person's account. The representatives are rude and disrespectful. They are not helpful in getting this situation fixed at all. I have the voicemails where they call me. Still trying to figure out who to call to report them for harrassment. I hate debt collectors!
- Caller: ER Solutions
- Call type: Debt collector
- prcThey call and hang up on me every couple of days when I say "Hello." If this really is a collection agency, they don't want to track down whom ever they are looking for too badly if they keep hanging up on people.
It's starting to get to a point of harrassment though. I wonder if there is anything I can do to legally get them to stop calling me and hanging up on me? - apI also have been called by this company, telling me that they can waive the disconnect fee if I pay $50.00. All I would need to do is give them my credit card number or check number and this would be settled. I have a hard time giving that information to anyone over the phone, especially someone I don't know. I told them to send me an invoice by mail for the $50.00 and I would pay that. They refused and I told them to shove it. Sounds like a scam. If calls continus I will call the police and inform them of the harassing calls.

Quick Analysis Consumer Comments Below
ER Solutions, owned by Atlanta based Convergent Resources, Inc. (CRI), is one of five company owned agencies, including Surpas Resources of Houston, TX.
ER president, Steven J. Hunter boasts they have one of the largest call centers in the northwest. ER currently ranks as the 9th largest debt collection agency in the country, according to company press releases. Family owned and operated, VP/Treasurer Kathy Hunter, Jeffery Hunter is VP of Collections.
They have operations in Houston, Phoenix and Atlanta as well as the Washington state headquarters.
Like all agencies that are pushing the "bigger is better" attitude, ER Solutions and Surpas Resources join the other major player in building at the cost of the consumer and skirting the laws.
Under provisions of federal law the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) consumers have a right to dispute the validity of an account, within thirty days of written notice. ER Solutions and Surpas Resources get an "F" for Failure to properly respond to complaints and to abide by the Fair Credit Reporting Act in reporting disputed accounts.
Perhaps mega-conglomerate and mother company, Convergent Resources, Inc. is making too much money in the collection industry. As the lawyers say, they are a lawsuit waiting to happen.
Save your money, dispute ALL accounts with these organizations and watch the dates of last activity on your credit reports. Apparently these companies care more about the bottom line, than the laws.
CAUTION: I recommend you NEVER disclose your bank account or credit card information to a debt collector, as you risk them emptying your account, or maxing out your credit card. If you feel they are reporting on your credit bureau files in error or need assistance in dealing with them, email the details w/your location. Assistance and referral to a consumer legal specialist may be available.

From Federal Trade Commission Website – FAIR DEBT COLLECTION PRACTICES ACT
Debt Collection FAQs: A Guide for Consumers
If you’re behind in paying your bills, or a creditor’s records mistakenly make it appear that you are, a debt collector may be contacting you.
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the nation’s consumer protection agency, enforces the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA), which prohibits debt collectors from using abusive, unfair, or deceptive practices to collect from you.
Under the FDCPA, a debt collector is someone who regularly collects debts owed to others. This includes collection agencies, lawyers who collect debts on a regular basis, and companies that buy delinquent debts and then try to collect them.
Here are some questions and answers about your rights under the Act.
What types of debts are covered?
The Act covers personal, family, and household debts, including money you owe on a personal credit card account, an auto loan, a medical bill, and your mortgage. The FDCPA doesn’t cover debts you incurred to run a business.
Can a debt collector contact me any time or any place?
No. A debt collector may not contact you at inconvenient times or places, such as before 8 in the morning or after 9 at night, unless you agree to it. And collectors may not contact you at work if they’re told (orally or in writing) that you’re not allowed to get calls there.
How can I stop a debt collector from contacting me?
If a collector contacts you about a debt, you may want to talk to them at least once to see if you can resolve the matter – even if you don’t think you owe the debt, can’t repay it immediately, or think that the collector is contacting you by mistake. If you decide after contacting the debt collector that you don’t want the collector to contact you again, tell the collector – in writing – to stop contacting you. Here’s how to do that:
Make a copy of your letter. Send the original by certified mail, and pay for a “return receipt” so you’ll be able to document what the collector received. Once the collector receives your letter, they may not contact you again, with two exceptions: a collector can contact you to tell you there will be no further contact or to let you know that they or the creditor intend to take a specific action, like filing a lawsuit. Sending such a letter to a debt collector you owe money to does not get rid of the debt, but it should stop the contact. The creditor or the debt collector still can sue you to collect the debt.
Can a debt collector contact anyone else about my debt?
If an attorney is representing you about the debt, the debt collector must contact the attorney, rather than you. If you don’t have an attorney, a collector may contact other people – but only to find out your address, your home phone number, and where you work. Collectors usually are prohibited from contacting third parties more than once. Other than to obtain this location information about you, a debt collector generally is not permitted to discuss your debt with anyone other than you, your spouse, or your attorney.
What does the debt collector have to tell me about the debt?
Every collector must send you a written “validation notice” telling you how much money you owe within five days after they first contact you. This notice also must include the name of the creditor to whom you owe the money, and how to proceed if you don’t think you owe the money.
Can a debt collector keep contacting me if I don’t think I owe any money?
If you send the debt collector a letter stating that you don’t owe any or all of the money, or asking for verification of the debt, that collector must stop contacting you. You have to send that letter within 30 days after you receive the validation notice. But a collector can begin contacting you again if it sends you written verification of the debt, like a copy of a bill for the amount you owe.
What practices are off limits for debt collectors?
Harassment. Debt collectors may not harass, oppress, or abuse you or any third parties they contact. For example, they may not:
use threats of violence or harm;
publish a list of names of people who refuse to pay their debts (but they can give this information to the credit reporting companies);
use obscene or profane language; or
repeatedly use the phone to annoy someone.
False statements. Debt collectors may not lie when they are trying to collect a debt. For example, they may not:
falsely claim that they are attorneys or government representatives;
falsely claim that you have committed a crime;
falsely represent that they operate or work for a credit reporting company;
misrepresent the amount you owe;
indicate that papers they send you are legal forms if they aren’t; or
indicate that papers they send to you aren’t legal forms if they are.
Debt collectors also are prohibited from saying that:
you will be arrested if you don’t pay your debt;
they’ll seize, garnish, attach, or sell your property or wages unless they are permitted by law to take the action and intend to do so; or
legal action will be taken against you, if doing so would be illegal or if they don’t intend to take the action.
Debt collectors may not:
give false credit information about you to anyone, including a credit reporting company;
send you anything that looks like an official document from a court or government agency if it isn’t; or
use a false company name.
Unfair practices. Debt collectors may not engage in unfair practices when they try to collect a debt. For example, they may not:
try to collect any interest, fee, or other charge on top of the amount you owe unless the contract that created your debt – or your state law – allows the charge;
deposit a post-dated check early;
take or threaten to take your property unless it can be done legally; or
contact you by postcard.
Can I control which debts my payments apply to?
Yes. If a debt collector is trying to collect more than one debt from you, the collector must apply any payment you make to the debt you select. Equally important, a debt collector may not apply a payment to a debt you don’t think you owe.
Can a debt collector garnish my bank account or my wages?
If you don’t pay a debt, a creditor or its debt collector generally can sue you to collect. If they win, the court will enter a judgment against you. The judgment states the amount of money you owe, and allows the creditor or collector to get a garnishment order against you, directing a third party, like your bank, to turn over funds from your account to pay the debt.
Wage garnishment happens when your employer withholds part of your compensation to pay your debts. Your wages usually can be garnished only as the result of a court order. Don’t ignore a lawsuit summons. If you do, you lose the opportunity to fight a wage garnishment.
Can federal benefits be garnished?
Many federal benefits are exempt from garnishment, including:
Social Security Benefits
Supplemental Security Income (SSI) Benefits
Veterans’ Benefits
Civil Service and Federal Retirement and Disability Benefits
Service Members’ Pay
Military Annuities and Survivors’ Benefits
Student Assistance
Railroad Retirement Benefits
Merchant Seamen Wages
Longshoremen’s and Harbor Workers’ Death and Disability Benefits
Foreign Service Retirement and Disability Benefits
Compensation for Injury, Death, or Detention of Employees of U.S. Contractors Outside the U.S.
Federal Emergency Management Agency Federal Disaster Assistance
But federal benefits may be garnished under certain circumstances, including to pay delinquent taxes, alimony, child support, or student loans.
Do I have any recourse if I think a debt collector has violated the law?
You have the right to sue a collector in a state or federal court within one year from the date the law was violated. If you win, the judge can require the collector to pay you for any damages you can prove you suffered because of the illegal collection practices, like lost wages and medical bills. The judge can require the debt collector to pay you up to $1,000, even if you can’t prove that you suffered actual damages. You also can be reimbursed for your attorney’s fees and court costs. A group of people also may sue a debt collector as part of a class action lawsuit and recover money for damages up to $500,000, or one percent of the collector’s net worth, whichever amount is lower. Even if a debt collector violates the FDCPA in trying to collect a debt, the debt does not go away if you owe it.
What should I do if a debt collector sues me?
If a debt collector files a lawsuit against you to collect a debt, respond to the lawsuit, either personally or through your lawyer, by the date specified in the court papers to preserve your rights.
Where do I report a debt collector for an alleged violation?
Report any problems you have with a debt collector to your state Attorney General’s office (www.naag.org) and the Federal Trade Commission (www.ftc.gov). Many states have their own debt collection laws that are different from the federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. Your Attorney General’s office can help you determine your rights under your state’s law.

- jI KNOW WHO THESE PEOPLE ARE.. They are fraudulent. Ever since 2007 when someone stole my wallet which happened to have my license and social sec. Number they have been trying to get me to give them more information so they can take money from my account. They even wanted me to record on tape that I was permitting them to come into my account. First they stated they helped clear up your debt.
I went off on them and told them that I knewthey were fraudulent. The European lady who usually calls, sonding foreign, broke her character and said "I don't care, you have nothing."
Now they are claiming to be a debt collector. They are fraudulent. Changing numbers and agency names to get youto pay them money. They may tell you all the debt that you have with other companies to pretend to be them.- Call type: Debt collector
- Andrew| 1 replyThis # has called my phone for the past 3 months (I know who they are looking for b/c I have gotten several other calls from other Dish Network numbers for Ada Something-Weird-I-Can't-Pronounce, too) and every time I go to pick up the phone they hang up or I get some pointless message, "Please wait for the the next available rep. It is important they speak with you." So two days ago they call, I waited and waited and someone answered, me finally telling them, "I'm not her, you have the wrong number!" Right before the collector hung up I said , "I would like to speak with a supervisor if you have one.." Finally, I got the 'supervisor' and suggested them to remove my number from their calling list as I am not this Ada woman, and the 'supervisor' said she did so. But I'll see how long it takes for them to call again...
